Company mission

To defend against America's national security challenges to create a safer future for the nation.

Role

Who you are

  • 2+ years professional experience in embedded software and/or firmware engineering
  • Proficiency in C, with significant experience in Rust (particularly in no_std environments). An understanding of functional programming languages like Haskell is a plus
  • Comfortable working with microcontroller peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, etc.) and data bus types, (AXI, Ethernet, USB, etc.)
  • Excellent technical communication and collaboration skills
  • Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. TS/SCI security clearance

Desirable

  • Experience with software-defined digital radio systems
  • Experience with industry standards bodies or open-source communities
  • Experience with measuring and enhancing performance related to speed, size, (low) power consumption, and cost
  • Experience with Nix/NixOS

What the job involves

  • Anduril’s Electronic Warfare (EW) team is seeking experienced embedded software engineers to build out the software ecosystem supporting a next-generation electronic warfare platform
  • As an embedded software engineer, you’ll develop correct, secure, high-reliability embedded software harnessing Rust for controlling our electronic warfare assets either on Linux (NixOS) or in bare-metal/RTOS environments
  • You will also collaborate with Electrical, Radio Frequency (RF), and Programmable Logic (PL) engineers to craft high-performance hardware/software interfaces, and work with the wider software organization to deliver seamless integration of electronic warfare products with the Anduril Lattice system-of-systems suite
  • You will apply state-of-the-art software construction techniques to to rapidly deploy bleeding-edge capabilities to our customers
  • Be involved in system design, part selection, and schematic reviews for existing product revisions and greenfield products
  • Utilize infrastructure providing deterministic builds and configuration management for deployment, guaranteeing software traceability and minimizing the maintenance burden of our products
  • Test software with various testing methodologies, including Unit, Software-in-the-Loop (SITL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL), and System testing
  • Employ software debugging tools (openOCD, probe-rs, gdb/lldb) and hardware debugging tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, soldering)
  • Implement bootloaders and over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms

Our take

Anduril makes hardware and software for defense agencies including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. Its hardware products include specialist drones with a long flight time and surveillance towers.

This hardware is tied together by proprietary software, the Lattice platform, which uses sensor fusion, machine learning, and mesh networking to integrate real-time data from Anduril hardware and third-party systems into a single, autonomous operating picture. While the hardware observes and detects, the software can make decisions as to the threat level of any anomalies, and so allow for observation and protection of an area or building with minimal manpower.

Anduril closed a Series E funding round in 2022 led by Valor Equity Partners. This funding was used for research and development of its autonomous defense products, such as the Roadrunner, a modular twin-jet powered autonomous vehicle that can take off and land vertically. Variants of the Roadrunner include defensive warhead armed interceptors which are the first drone weapons that can be retrieved after deployment. The company has also expanded to Australia where it is working in tandem with the Australian Defence Force to improve its military technology and infrastructure and is recruiting talent worldwide to support its rapidly growing portfolio of defense projects.
